new prop visual effect = headache + ugly (and epilepsy trigger issue ?)

[bongodriver]

What really concerns me is the potential negative effect of the new prop effect on my health

unless you are a very photosensitive epileptic then I would say there is nothing to fear.

Unfortunately, Epilepcy can remain domant and until it manifest itself you don't know if you have it. Follow the warnings on the splash screen and if you feel any of the effects listed, stop playing and consult your doctor.


Now it's been a while since I did my flying training, but we were warned about prop reflection. In civil aviation it is mainly a problem on early morning / late evening landings. Unfortunately for those people diving out of the sun on their hapless prey, you are conciously placing yourself in the very condidtions where the effect should be most noticable. Try varying your approach path so that during your actual firing stage your angle to the sun is bigger.

Is it over done, probably? Gather some resources, post it on the bug tracker and until it is 'fixed' work around it.
